Vivian Bercovici: Trudeau’s response to Ottawa hate rally too little, too late

Late in the afternoon on Saturday, April 13, massive street parties popped up in Toronto, Montreal and elsewhere in Canada, celebrating the launch of over 300 ballistic missiles and attack drones by the Islamic Republic of Iran targeting sites in Israel.

On Oct. 7, 2023, while Hamas terrorists were still slaughtering, mutilating, burning and kidnapping civilians in Israel, spontaneous parties across Canada were in full swing. They were ecstatic, openly calling for the destruction of Israel and the killing of any and all Jews.

Canada’s deputy PM wouldn’t condemn pro-Hamas slogans as hate speech until she saw video of vile chants

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on Monday initially refused to condemn slogans celebrating the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack on Israel as hate speech – until she watched a video of the vile chants.

Freeland, a member of Canada’s Liberal Party, plead ignorance when asked by a reporter if chants of “long live October 7th” and “October 7th proves we’re almost free” – both bellowed by anti-Israel protesters during a weekend demonstration in Ottawa – constitute hate speech.

Please Make Freedo Liberal Leader so we can Kim Campbell her butt.

Support for Chinese Regime Required to Access Canadian-Funded Scholar Exchange Program in Canada

Chinese candidates applying for a Canadian taxpayer-funded exchange program need to declare allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership and the Party’s “socialist system,” The Epoch Times has learned.

The link to the Chinese governmental agency’s website specifying these requirements for the current academic year is prominently featured on the website of the Canadian agency in charge of promoting the program, as of this writing. The Canadian government issued a notice about this year’s program earlier this month.

Capital gains tax changes about ‘intergenerational fairness,’ Trudeau says as opposition grows

OTTAWA — One week after tabling the latest federal budget, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remained on the defensive while responding to increasing opposition from business and industry groups against proposed changes to capital gains taxation.

Speaking to reporters during a budget promo tour stop in Saskatoon, Sask., Trudeau was repeatedly asked to respond to critiques of the key point of contention in last week’s budget: the increased capital gains tax inclusion rate.

Canada Post refusing to collect banned guns for Ottawa’s buyback program

Canada Post is refusing to collect firearms that were banned by the federal government in 2020, complicating Ottawa’s plans for a buyback program to remove 144,000 firearms from private hands, federal sources say.

The Crown corporation informed the government of its position in a recent letter. It said its decision was based on concerns about its employees’ security, according to federal sources who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The corporate conglomerate building an electric battery plant in Windsor that is slated to receive billions of dollars in government has ramped its use of foreign workers at the site and has even taken work away from unionized tradespeople in recent weeks, according to explosive new allegations from a national trades union federation.

Canada threw open its doors to visitors after the pandemic. Now, many don’t want to leave

A special program Canada brought in last year to make it easier for tourists, business travellers and those with relatives in this country to visit has led to some unexpected consequences.

Newly obtained documents show that a striking percentage of people who took advantage of the expedited visitor visas that the program offered have now applied to stay here — as asylum seekers.

It’s a situation, some say, that reflects among other things the pent-up demand for asylum created during the pandemic, when the border was closed.

Just another loophole created by the Trudeau government to flood the country.

Jamie Sarkonak: Danielle Smith is the antidote to Trudeau’s DEI agenda in universities

The Liberal government has infused its social policy goals into funding for academic research for years — but to many progressives, that’s all fine and good. The real problem, they’ll tell you, is the premier who noticed it: Danielle Smith.

To push back at the federal encroachment into all things provincial — universities, yes, but also municipalities, health, schools, pharmacare and daycare — Smith’s government has tabled Bill 18, the provincial priorities act. The law would make the provincial government the final authority on all agreements between “provincial entities” and the feds.

Budget 2024 failed to spark ‘political reboot’ for Liberals, polling suggests

The 2024 federal budget failed to spark a much-needed rebound in the polls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s trailing Liberal party, according to new Ipsos polling released Tuesday.

Canadian reaction to the Liberal government’s latest spending plans shows an historic challenge ahead of the governing party as it tries to keep the reins of government out of the Conservative party’s hands in the next election, according to one pollster.

The Liberal’s immigration policies have accomplished the opposite of what was intended

… But many are simply seeking to stay here while their claim works its way through a system that is already so overwhelmed some claimants are living in homeless shelters or on the street and it can take several years before the Immigration and Refugee Board reaches a final decision on an application.

The worst thing about all this? The Liberals’ immigration policies have accomplished the very opposite of what they intended: They have undermined support for immigration.


I prefer to think of it as Canadians waking up to the Big Lie of immigration policy in Canada.

Immigration policy was never designed to benefit Canadians.

It was designed to benefit the corporate class and the political class at our expense.

We will continue to pay dearly for sleepwalking through our nations destruction and must remain on guard against those who lie about mass immigration’s alleged benefits.

Peter Menzies: Increasing Numbers of Canadians No Longer Recognize Their Country

Sure, some of this is natural.

As people age, they tend to worry that the values they lived by are no longer being upheld. Civilization, as the saying goes, is thousands of years old but never more than one generation deep—and that becomes more of a concern as people enter the contemplative phase of their lives.

Trudeau has turned Toronto into a 3rd World shithole.
